Hi All,
Probably an easy question for those in the know.
I am flying return from lax-yvr in a week with Air Canada and just wondered which frequent flyer program we should allocate these miles too?
I am a Qantas FF member and don't plan to fly with AC again in a hurry.
Thanks

If you're an infrequent *A flyer, note Asiana's (OZ) FF miles never expire. Yet understand too that OZs redemption rates are probably the worst in *A. For a couple of thousand miles though, does it make a difference?

I'm not sure about the earn rate for AC, but maybe you'll have enough for a oneway to NZ.

You have to pay to join.

I have some AC boarding passes in a drawer at home and I'm still not sure what to do with them! Though mine were tiny flights within Canada so its not worth joining Airpoints - but for a long trip like yours, might be worthwhile.

I dont think so. Some cheap AC fares are ineligible for mileage earning. From Airpoints T&Cs

1.3.2.1 Air Canada's Tango fares (E, N, T, G, I, & R booking classes within Canada and between Canada and the USA excluding Hawaii) and booking classes Z, D, W, P, K, N and X (except for X booking class between Toronto and Delhi) and booking class A (except on Canadian domestic Sectors and between Canada and the USA where booking class A, will earn Airpoints Dollars).

A bit OT but FYI we had recent problems with both Ciibank Debit and our 28 degree cards while OS. Firstly, neither of our Citibank ATM Pins would work to get cash on arrival in Milan (LIN) despite me having done a test withdrawal just before we left. Don't know why but it was most annoying to get an error message from the 3 different ATMs…

Welcome to AFF.
I don't know about Qantas sales ex-Singapore, but make sure you sign up to the Red-emails so you're notified if/when the next one is announced.
For the SIN-MEL route, have you considered Emirates?…

I will be arriving at Change from Perth on Scoot at 1:30am, departing on JL at 8:10 the same day in Business. I know I'll have to retrieve my luggage and get to T1.
My plan then is to go to the Premier Check In Lounge in T1, check in my luggage then rest in the lounge until boarding time.
Is this a good plan / doable ? I have dismissed…
